6 Things Gayle King Loves This Month
O's editor at large shares what she's loving this month.
By Gayle King
I can't get enough of Melissa McCarthy... whether she's on television or the big screen. So when I got the call that she wanted me in her latest flick, The Boss, I didn't hesitate—"Where do you need me to be?"—and next thing I knew, I was on a movie set in Atlanta. Melissa plays Michelle Darnell, a millionaire ready to rebrand herself as America's sweetheart after a stint in prison for insider trading. I play Gayle King, a news anchor who scores the first post-jail interview with Michelle. No two takes were the same because while I stuck to my lines, Melissa was having a blast ad-libbing. (And why not? She wrote and produced the comedy alongside her husband, Ben Falcone, who's also the director.) The laugh-out-loud film hits theaters on April 8, and if there's a sequel, I hope I get the call again!
